The Scottish Terrier, or "Scottie," is a small, sturdy terrier with a distinctive beard and independent spirit. Dignified, confident, and loyal, they're devoted to family but maintain a reserved nature with strangers. Their wire coat and alert stance give them a distinguished appearance.
Daily walks and play keep them content. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming and stripping. Training should be consistent and respectful of their independence. For those seeking a small, dignified terrier with personality, the Scottish Terrier is classic.
